Nella antica citta di Benefse fu gia uno grande, et potente Re, à cui molti paesi, et provincie erano soggette: et percio che egli era huomo di molto potere, fecesi uno bellissimo castiello per sua habitatione nel mezzo di essa citta fabricare, ilquale da cento fieri, et rabbiosi cani, quali oltre di ciò soleano i condennati à morte divorare, la notte facea custodire.

In the ancient city of Beni Suef there was once a great, and powerful King, to whom many countries and provinces were subject. And because he was a powerful man, he had a beautiful little castle in the midst of this city built as his residence which was being guarded at night by a hundred fierce and furious dogs, which among other things used to devour those condemned to death.
